Can someone help me with the sex of this budgie?

What sex is this bird? Owner told me its a male, but I thought males had more of a “blue hue” to them. I also noticed the color changes if the mutation reduces the eumelanin.

Certainly looks like a young male to me.

Would you mind explaining why? Is this a texas?

I'm not that familiar with the texas clear body but it does look so. Although diluted you can still see the barring comes pretty far forward on the head so he's young. A pink cere on a young budgie says male.

I think he's a he too! Good luck on getting him home, and send more photos if he is comfy with you taking them after he gets to his new home!
